The Two Women, By: G.K. Chesterton

The Two Women, By: G.K. Chesterton

    Lo! very fair is she who knows the ways
    Of joy: in pleasure’s mocking wisdom old,
    The eyes that might be cold to flattery, kind;
    The hair that might be grey with knowledge, gold.

    But thou art more than these things, O my queen,
    For thou art clad in ancient wars and tears.
    And looking forth, framed in the crown of thorns,
    I saw the youngest face in all the spheres.
